Section 8.0
Storage Requirements
8.1 Short Term Storage (Less than 6 months)
If the CT system is to be stored before installation, store in a temperature and humidity controlled
warehouse. Protect from weather, dirt and dust.
Meeting these requirements prevents rust and corrosion from forming on bearing surfaces due to
condensation.
• Storage temperature should not exceed 40º to +80º F (4º to +27º C).
• Maintain relative humidity (non-condensing) between 20% and 60%.
• Maximum relative humidity rate of change is 5%/hr.
• The maximum temperature rate of change is 5
o
F/hr. (3
o
C/hr.)
• Air pressure should be between 700hPa and 1060hPa.
NOTICE Between delivery is considered short-term storage.
Van storage must meet the same specifications as above.
8.2 Construction-Site Storage
When storing the CT system at a construction site be sure to adhere to the following storage
requirements:
• Do not damage or puncture the shipping crate.
• Do not remove packaging until all construction is completed at the site and all dust created by
the construction is removed.
• Maintain a storage temperature within the range of 10º to 32º C (50º to 90º F).
Maintain a relative humidity (non-condensing) between 20% and 70%.
8.3 Long Term Storage (6 months or more)
If the CT system is to be stored before installation, store in a temperature and humidity controlled
warehouse. Protect from weather, dirt and dust.
Meeting these requirements prevents rust and corrosion from forming on bearing surfaces due to
condensation.
• Storage temperature should not exceed 50º to +90º F (10º to +32º C).
• Maintain relative humidity (non-condensing) between 20% and 70%.
If you are storing a system longer than six (6) months, but less than 12 months, contact CT
Engineering for installation start-up instructions. Storage longer than 12 months is not
recommended.
